My Story

Some of you might already know that I decided to go that crazy path and sweat it out at the Full 42.2km Marathon on the 17th of September at the Sydney Running Festival 2017. I am aiming for sub 3:55h.
So far it has been a very hard road juggeling single parenthood and organising training before or after work and the last 3 month were dedicated to hard training, early wake up calls, also unwillingly wake up calls in the middle of the night, loads of protein shakes and especially will power and determination to get this done.
A big thanks to all my friends who supported me with babysitting duties and also mental support.
As a bonus I would like to raise much needed funds for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF). This is close to my heart with loads of friends and family battling this disease. But this is especially for my beloved mum, who is fighting strong for the last 18years to overcome her cancer. She is the strongest person on this planet and I will be running for her and will have her with me on every step of the 42.2km. You can help too, by donating to my page. Any amount you can give makes a difference! I thank you so much for your generosity and support- it means a lot to me.
You can also support me by encouraging others to get involved, too. Please email the link to my page to your friends and family, or share it on social media.

Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) believe that a world without cancer is possible. It is a bold statement but one that we are committed to.

We can’t do this without you. Every day our supporters help to accelerate what can be achieved by giving Australia’s best scientists the technology they need to end all cancers through better detection, prevention and treatment.

We are passionate about innovation and impact and believe accelerating cancer research is vital. Thanks to our generous and committed supporters we award grants between $1-10M each year for major equipment and technology. We are the only charity in Australia that does this, many fund the person (the researcher) but no-one else provides the cutting-edge equipment they need.
